Dell PowerEdge R740 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R740 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database and high-performance computing workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 2.1 GHz 8-core processors, 256 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H730P RAID controller. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Ideal for dual-socket density.

This configuration suits organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a single 2U chassis with hot-swap drive bays and integrated 10 GbE SFP+ networking. Buyers who require more than two processor sockets, larger drive bay counts or GPU accelerator support should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 2 GB of battery-backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available, so verify it matches your storage topology before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the R740 occupy and what power supplies are included?

The R740 is a 2U rack server and includes two 750 Watt redundant hot-swap power supplies.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the eight 800 GB SATA SSDs together with older SATA drives?

The PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across SATA and SAS drives, so the installed 800 GB SSDs can share an array with other SATA devices.

How can I confirm the two Xeon Silver 4110 processors and 256 GB of DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the system BIOS; both will display two 8-core CPUs at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory.
